This was a fun movie and my kids, my husband and I really enjoyed it. Although there was some violence (I have 3 boys so they loved the head-bonking type fighting) I thought there was a good lesson in the fact that the "solution" to the dragon problem was to make peace with them. Some small children might find some of the scenes frightening, but overall I thought it was less scary than Sleeping Beauty. I would definitely recommend this for all families.
